Got my new 8310 today. Fresh out of the box, but I can't get the GPS to hook up. In the advanced options menu, under GPS, all I get are a bunch of 0's. (for Lat/Long, everything). If I refresh the GPS, it won't find any satellites and everything remains 0. Indoors or out. It seems like the GPS receiver is completely dead. Do I have to activate it or something?

A buddy told me that for my GPS to work, I needed to activate something called "Telenav" for about $10 bucks a month here in Vancouver. I would assume that wherever you are, you will need to "activate" some kinda monthly data plan.
Cheers!

Thanks for the help.

I bought mine a week ago & had the same problem.
Just go outsied in the open and then try it.
It will work.

Cingular/AT&T remove Blackberry Maps, but savvy users know how to re-add them by editing the lbs.alx file. All of our 8310's now have BB Maps and the GPS works fine. I have noticed that the task sems to lock up requiring a battery pull. Immediately on reboot. goto Options, Advanced, GPS. Hit the menu button and select Refresh GPS. Give 45 seconds to a full minute and you should pull coordinates from 4-5 satellites, then it should work fine.
